Wlecome back to the Cogeco network. Synthia here with my partner Jordin. Looks like the draft last night for the NWJHL was very exciting. With the wrap up coverage on the draft is Dan. Here is Dan.


Justin Cunningham was not sure if he was going to get drafted this season because of the amount of time he took off for his wedding, but with a strong recommendation from good friend Brandon Donini, Justin Cunningham was able to get drafted my the Detroit Falcons. Late last night negotiations with Detroit Falcons GM to get Justin Cunningham signed. The rumour is that Justin will sign for two million. Length of contract is not yet known. Justin will be a good addition to the strong offence the Falcons are looking for from Donini and Cunningham. These two young guns are going to be a force to watch out for. When asked about getting drafted to the same team as his friend Justin responded with

"Well he is a great player and I just can't wait to wear the same jersey as him. We played against each other in the juniors so I know how he plays and I think we can complement each other's game style nicely."

Now that is a good friend. Justin had been off for a couple weeks with his wedding and his newborn son Jaden, but is more than ready. When asked about getting drafted he said

"Well I am really glad that I got drafted to Detroit. With my life just taking off with my wedding and the birth of my son, it really helped that I was drafted to a team that is just down the highway. Detroit is a great team and I am really excited to play for the Falcons."
